Laugh Riot:
Your heartfelt sentiments nailed it perfectly. The statistics framed your thoughts with a major dose of Reality. The two pictures added the right amount of light and darkness to help me recall the days that still are to come. Thank you.

If you're not familiar with this show from '82, I think it will hit home as well (1982-08-03 - Starlight Theater). If nothing else, listen to how Jerry sings "To Lay Me Down," but I think the entire show is sublime. There are three versions on this site; here's one:

(Hey LR: I apologize for not realizing the '73 show wasn't here; it is over at "nugs.net" in .mp3 format under their "Free Stash" section. You're welcome to send me an email anytime at < Jerri1031-dp3 AT yahoo DOT com >)

Laugh Riot:
Honestly, the others here can provide you with much better insight regarding the shows than me. I checked "Deadbase" for you but there was no review of the show; the set list noted that the "Sugar Mag" appears on "Europe '72." (I suggest you create a new post inquiring about the '72 Paris show and you will get plenty of trustworthy reviews.)
All of the free downloads from "nugs" are .mp3's which is fine for me (I always select "download entire show" and then under the "status" heading you can right-click and cancel any songs that don't interest you or you don't have time to download - you can always go back and get the ones your missing.)
There is one release by the Garcia Estate of the "Jerry Garcia Band" on "nugs" that is available in either .mp3 or "flac." The six songs are from commercially released cd's and include a 12-minute "Mission in the Rain" from 1978 (with Maria Muldaur joining Donna on back-up)

I hope you don't mind if I make another recommendation. Unlike the Garcia Estate, Hunter appreciates the fact that individuals pass along his music ..as long as it is between individuals and there's no profit involved. In fact, he has his rare solo-acoustic "Jack O'Roses" album available on one of his web sites. In addition to the timeless classics such as "Reuben & Cerise" and "Box of Rain," he plays a 15-minute complete suite of "Terrapin Station" (circa 1980; it reached its true completion at a later date.)

..I apologize for the long post; let me know if you want any of Hunter's other cd's (and/or JGB) ---- AshesRising

"Up these steps beside me climb
to Terrapin and points sublime
Bereft of reason, faith and name
brokenhearted, blind, and lame"
("Return to Terrapin" by Robert Hunter @1977-2007, "A Box of Rain: Collected Lyrics of Robert Hunter")
